Saving images Format

Hi,
I am opening JPEG images in Photoshop CS3 and after making changes saving them in JPEG format again. In the JPEG Options dialog box I save at the maxium level of 12 to preserve as much detail possible.
I then make further changes and save again using the same JPEG settings.
While the files are already JPEG format to start off with, I am not sure if I still could be lessening the image quality after repeated saves.
After opening the JPEG images in Photoshop maybe I should save them in PSD and save each time afterwards in PSD, and only save the final image as JPEG.
Any information would be appreciated.

You really probably want to open the JPEGs, make your changes, then save as .PSD - which is lossless.
Then you can make any number of further changes (open/edit/save of the PSD) without loss, and whenever you need to save a JPEG, do Save As a Copy and save the JPEG separately, keeping your edited master document as the PSD.
By the way, disk space has gotten really cheap, if you haven't looked lately.

When you're zooming/panning on stills in Premiere Pro, does it matter what image format the stills were scanned and saved as???

I have several hundred stills that that were scanned at 600dpi in jpeg format. I know that 72dpi would be the norm for images in video, but I intend to zoom in at least 200% on many of the stills. So just to be on the safe side, I scanned them all at 600dpi.
In terms of panning and zooming on stills in Premiere Pro, does it matter that the images were scanned as jpegs rather than tiffs or png files? Will that cause problems in Premiere Pro CC for playback or does the image format not matter? If so, would it be wiser to convert all the jpegs to png or tiff files prior to importing into Premiere Pro CC? I understand that they would have to be tiffs or png files to have transparency for compositing purposes. But I only plan to do Ken Burns style moves on the stills, no compositing.
Thanks very much in advance.

DPI doesn't matter in video, look at the frame size of these images instead.

Yes, JPEG is a lossy compression format. TIFF, PSD, PNG are lossless compression and are a better choice for using for your purposes. However, do a test and see if the JPEGs might look OK so you don't waste time rescanning the images.

It should not matter much. The thing to be concerned about is the frame size. Using over 4000 pixels in either dimension is going to severely affect your performance. 3840 x 2160 (2x the HD frame size), I found, works well for most all landscaped oriented images. Try it and see if that works for you.

Convert? No, that would not help your images performance or quality. Try a test with a JPEGs and see if they work for you. Otherwise, rescan as TIFF, PSD, or PNG and resize the images to 2x the HD frame size.
Hope this post helps guide your decisions.

PDF image format?

From what I understand, the PDF file format can contain text, vector graphics and raster graphics in many different formats. When I print to a PDF (via Save as PDF... in the print dialog box), what type of image format is actually used inside the PDF (which I assume is just a container format, really)?
Say I come across a full quality RAW file from a 10-megapixel camera. If I open that image in an image editor and then print it as a PDF, what ends up in the PDF file? Is it a JPEG? A PNG? Some type of otherwise unknown lossless format?
I assume the screenshot mechanism in OS X that saves to PDF uses similar technology. In that case, is a screenshot saved as a PDF better or worse quality than a PNG or JPEG (using a utility like TinkerTool to change the default screenshot format)?

Actually, it doesn't matter what you set on a folio level. The article settings override the folio settings. The folio settings are supposed to appear as the default when you create articles, but it doesn't work that way at this time.

Image cannot be rendered because Aperture does not support image format

Dear all,
I have installed apple Aperture 3.03 and the complete Nick software plug-in selection:
• Dfine 2.0 for Aperture
• Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete for Aperture
• Silver Efex Pro for Aperture
• Sharpener Pro 3.0 for Aperture
• Viveza 2 for Aperture
History
Until a few days ago the system was running ok / no notable issues on performance. / all pug in seem to run good / no issues. Also
• I Run OSX10.4/ Aperture 3.03 ( 32Bit mode)
• My library contains just over 10000 images / approximately 140GB
• I have recently updated the OSX software update including the security update 2010-005
• as well as the Snow leopard graphic update 1.0
• As far as I am aware all updates where automatically recommended by OSX Software update ( no manual intervention).
• As far as I remember after update the system still was running ok but honestly I can not tell you how many times the Nick Plug in started out of Aperture.
After all, Several times I continued using the system / still no noticeable problem until the following was happening:
Problem:
After creating with "PT gui" a panoramic image File type: "TIF" Pixel size: 5112 × 2556 (13,1 MP) I imputed this file in to Aperture (drag and drop). During the attempt to eddied this file with "Nick Define 2.0" the system was hamming up No response for several minutes from Dfine 2.0 / Aperture" At the end I had to "force quit" the applications.
After the consequential reopening of Aperture I tried again to eddied images with any Nick software Plug-In but each time Aperture prepares any image previously stored in my Library ti open the Pug in the following Error message appears:
*"This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format"*
Currently non of my previously in the library safed images can be opened in a Nick software Plug-In this applies to all file types I have tied " Raw, tif, jpg"
• I am still able to eddied normally with Aperture ( so far I do not find any other issue)
• A newly imported Raw image after being taken with my EOS 5D can be edited in the completed Nick software Plug-In selection ( so far I do not find any other issue)
The following actions have been taken to overcome the issue (all not successful):
• I restored my Library out of my back Up ( to previous time of event ( no Time machine back up)
• Uninstallation of all Nick software Plug-In selection
• Uninstallation Aperture Reinstallation Aperture / Nick software Plug-In selection
• Repairing the library ( all three possibilities)
• installation of latest EOS utilitys
Questions
• Can you support me to overcome this issue?
• Have you heard similar issues of Nick user Running the Aperture plug-ins?
For me it is really strange that even after replacing the the library in my normally not connect back up the problem still exists (this should be not affected by the event as the back up was not done any more) / new imported images are editable with the Plug-In.
I would be happy if you could support me in this issue.
Best regards,
Matthias
PS: I have reported this issue to Apple (via Aperture feedback) as well as contacted the Nick software support and currently waiting for feedback.

Dear Ma-Le / All
I have just had the same problem
I use
• Aperture 3.03 with a iMac 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo with all files on external hard disks (mac extended fomat as apple suggests) with referenced masters.
• Camera Nikon D300, with probably 75,000+ images on 2 hard drives
• Photoshop CS2 with PhotoTools 2.5 plugin
This has been working perfectly until yesterday when the system froze when I was using PhotoTools 2.5 with Photoshop CS2 - as a result of which I resorted to a force quit.
Since then on most of my files it has not been possible to use an external editor.
A message appears saying: *Editing Error - This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support image format*.
The problem seems to apply to the attempted use of any external editor (including Noise Ninja)
The following have each been tried, all unsuccessfully:
- Using each of Aperture's library 3 first aid options
- Rebuilding directory using Diskwarrior
- Checking for virus using Virus Barrier X4
- Defragmenting library hard disk using TechTool pro
- Changing permissions settings
- Using Disk Utility first aid to repair permissions and checking main disk
- Removing some plist elements when open 'show package contents' of library
- Setting up a(n almost clean) new system, with newly loaded version of Aperture, with a new library from a vault saved prior to the crash when the problem first occured
Several things seem to me to be totally bizarre:
1 - The problem is the same on the other library hard disk which was not in use at the time
2 - The problem still occurs when a back up vault saved prior to this problem is loaded - using a new hard disk with a new system and a newly reloaded and upgraded Aperture software
3- The problem seems inconsistent. It appears to affect some photos but not all. Even from the same shoot, some photos can be edited using an external editor, whilst others cannot (but as far as i can tell most of the photos in a particular album seem to be consistently affected)
4- The only way around it seems to be if I import a new (copy image) from the original master. Then everything works ok, and I can successfully edit that copy image in photoshop / phototools plug-in.
I am beginning to wonder whether what has been corrupted is Aperture's ability to make copies from the master file which it then uses with the external editor (I have no real idea whether this is correct)
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions - or has anyone else been suffering a similar problem?
Eric
PS: As a professional photographer this problem is a really serious issue for me - and I really don't really want to go to Lightroom or Capture One

Unsupported image format after moving from one project to another

I scanned several thousands of images to my Aperture library. Went thru all of them providing adjustments to many of them, keywords to all of them and adjust date/time to all of them. All of the pics were visible, format is jpeg.
This is a managed library (all pics within Aperture db).
This morning started to restructure the project files (had three of them). After moving couple of hundred images to newly created project file I started seeing "unsupported image format" red screen after clicking the jpeg. 20-30% of the pictures clicked showed on viewer "unsupported image format".
Tried regenerating the previews. Tried command-option start with first fix the preferences option. Then with rebuild option.
Tried moving the pictures back to their original project file.
No joy... Still 20-30% of the pictures show the "unsupported image format".
Aperture 2.1.
Amy other tricks I could try?
Reported this to Apple aperture feedback of course.
--h

Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
+Note: there is no importing involved+
The thumbs appear, but the images are added 2 or 3 times each and the events are all messed up.
This happens when you import one Library to another, which you've done by drag and drop:
Creating a black library and over writing the new with the old.
Your problem is arising because of the Network Share. iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.

B&W - Unsupported Image Format

Aperture continues to misbehave. I scan B&W photos in using VueScan software and a Canon flatbed scanner, import them into Aperture 3.1.1, clean up the photos and sometimes even am allowed to upload to SmugMug and THEN I get the Unsupported Image Format screen and can't do a bloody thing to my photos nor can I even bring them back. This doesn't pass a test of reasonableness.
Anybody have a workaround? This only happens with B&W photos.

Hi Vincent,
Though the following refers to iPhoto, could Aperture have a similar issue as well? When scanning B&W negatives, photos and, documents, then attempting to bring them into iPhoto I had the same issue. iPhoto returned "Unsupported Image Format" or, they appeared as a rectangle filled with black the shape of the imported item. Those scanned items were saved as JPG files.
Opened them in Photoshop Elements (PSE) I could see them. In PSE I found the item's Mode was Grayscale. Changing Mode > Grayscale to Mode > RGB, saving it iPhoto imported it as it should; life is good.
Even though the files were B&W images iPhoto wanted the files formatted as RGB. Now when I scan I do check the Mode making sure the file is in RGB even though the image is grayscale.
Cordially,
RicD

Changing images' formats in .PSD files.

How can I change these without copying single images to new files, changing there and copying back?
e.g. I've pasted some large tiffs into one .psd and want to convert them to jpgs, keeping the rest of my .psd as it is.

Most image formats are disc-based, meaning that the format change takes place while saving the file. If you have a .psd and want a jpeg, SAVE IT as a jpeg, etc. -- This has advantages: there is potentially a lot more information in the psd file than the jpeg, so it is wise to retain the psd, as well as the jpeg you need in the moment.

Unsupported Image Format for DNG from GF1?

I am in the process of trying to switch from Lightroom 3 to Aperture 3 (in case you are wondering why the main reason is increasing integration between iOS and Aperture).
Most of the images in my Lightroom catalog are from Nikon DSLRs which when I import as DNGs from Lightroom into Aperture show up just fine. However, all of the old DNGs I try to import from Lightroom as DNGs that were shot with my Panasonic GF1 don't render in Aperture and just show up as "Unsupported Image Format."
Please note that new GF1 images I import from the SD card of my GF1 import just fine. The problem seems limited to GF1 images saved in Lightroom as DNGs that I am importing into Aperture.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this issue?
Thank you.

Solved it. Had nothing to do with Photoshop PS4 install, it had to do with moving my home space to a larger external drive. One of the "import" setting changed (I don't remember changing it) such that the images weren't getting imported into Aperture. (Re-?)checked that, and all is well. Will go for the PS4-reinstall tomorrow.

PSD keeps saving image as 32 bit depth (not 24)

I may be using some incorrect terminology/calculations.
I have some third-party presentation software that requires all images be 8-bit. So I used Photoshop for all photo editing and made sure my PSDs were 8-bit before exporting stills (PNGs) for my presentation. 50+ PNGs were successfully created this way, but i'm having problems with a single file. When I open the correct files in Windwos Pic/Fax View, right click, show properties, go to Summery (advanaced), all the correct files have a bit depth listed as 24.
My problematic PSD says it's in 8-bit, but the PNGs that I create from it are consistently listed as having 32 bit depth in Windows Pic/Fax View. As a test I exported other images formats (TIFFs, JPEGs, etc...) and they all came out as 32 bit depth. How do I fix this? I tried opening the PSD, saving as different name, switching to 16-bit and then back to 8-bit, still didn't work.

I don't think I have an alpha channel. The workflow to create this image is identical to all other images (none of them have alphas). Any way I can check whether an alpha inadvertently was included?
Thanks for also explaining the math behind 8 bit -> 24 bit lol.

Unsupported Image Format After External Editor

I have Aperture set up with Photoshop Elements 6 for MAC as the external editor. I have PSD(16bit) 300 dpi. I have used this external editor several times in the last two days. The most recent time I had a problem. It started PSE 6 as requested and displayed the picture with a *.pdf filename. I used the filter option I wanted and was satisfied with the result in PSE 6. I saved the file and quit PSE. It came back to Aperture and displayed two images: the original on the left and the edited on the right. After one or two seconds the image on the right (the result of the edit) was replaced by a dark red background with the black text Unsupported Image Format displayed. If I click on the right image, the edited image appears briefly and then reverts back to the error display.
As I said, I used this only the night before several times with no problems and I have not changed my Aperture preferences since then. The master file is a Canon cr2 file and I did some Aperture corrections before I decided I needed to run a filter in PSE 6.
Thanks,
Bruce

I'm having a similar problem with unsupported images. The problem has occurred when I use an external program to create an image. I've tried creating them as TIFF and JPEG. If I use the Sony Image Data Converter (v2 or v3) I get the unsupported image format.
Last night I was scanning film with Silverfast, creating TIFF files and using them in Aperture 2 as referenced files. Everything was fine. This morning I did the same thing and got the red Unsupported Image Format screen from the same original image.
I have found if I import the unsupported image into the Aperture library instead of using it as a referenced file it usually works. I don't like this solution because it messes with my work flow and I'm trying to keep the size of my Aperture Library under control.

Canon 7D, .CR2 and the miserable RED "Unsupported Image Format" screen

I have seen a lot of posts on this:
First, yes, all of my software is up to date ~ running Mac OS X SL 10.6.2 and Aperture 2.1.4
I just got the 7D ~ my system is set up to automatically open Aperture when card reader and/or camera is plugged in.
I have been shooting in Camera Raw, not sCR2, not mCR2, just .CR2 and large JPG simultaneously.
Obviously, the JPG imports fine, but that dastardly "Unsupported Image Format" red screen pops up.
I can't seem to find the file to open and see if it works in iPhoto ~ even when I am in iPhoto and try to show my Aperture library, it is not there.
So, the big question is this: how do I download .CR2, find them to then convert them (and what am I converting them to?) and import those converted files into Aperture?
I know, I know a lot of questions...but am appreciative of any help someone is willing to throw my way.
Thanks

I mount the drive to see it in the finder only.
I shoot both RAW & Jpeg the same time.
I explore the Jpeg thumbnails, skipping over the raw files which takes a little longer to load.
One main advantage doing both/
Now anyone can load the Jpegs to view, otherwise they may not have viewer or software to see RAW files.
For safety, I load the whole card file to the desktop.
From here, I pre-sort the images to a folder within.
Otherwise it's back & forth reloading the whole card file into Aperture picking out a few, and doing the process 10 - 20 more times for other images not related.
Or making mistakes along the way. A simple slip of the wrist, or happy mouse.
Now any software you chose, It can load from saved file on desktop.
**The card anytime it's put back in camera gets reformatted.
Or set aside for safe keeping until the process is complete in case of power failure and or crash.
Reformatting the card is a must in the camera vs just deleted at computer.
This might be the X crisis you see of old data mixed in.
Other Issues/
By default for years, compact flash cards & reader.
On the Canon 1DsMkII, it has two slots, CF & SD.
Along comes SDHC, and off to do wedding, get back to computer to load from reader and the computer says, we have no clue.
Card readers are specific to SDHC.
I had a thumb drive reader for SDHC but never gave it a thought there was any difference.
Prior/
The camera smarter, picked the SD slot to record to if pulling & replacing CF.
So I was shocked not finding the images on CF at first.

Unsupported image format after using external editor

A new twist (for me) on the familiar unsupported image format problem: On my MacBook Pro (running Aperture 2.1.4) I export an image to PS as a 16 bit TIFF 300 dpi to work on it; when I'm done it comes back as a TIFF. But Aperture won't open the edited image; it gives me the maroon screen. The edited image shows up fine as a thumbnail, though. This is a new problem, one of a great many issues with Aperture. On my MacPro, running the same OS and Aperture version, I don't get this problem. Many of my problems with Aperture's defects simply go away after a couple of restarts; this one is persistent.
I notice one other weird thing with exporting to PS as a TIFF; when I hit command/save I often get a screen asking for instructions on saving the TIFF, i.e., compression and so on. According to an Apple tech I spoke to, this screen shouldn't appear when saving back to Aperture. It appears inconsistently, most of the time but not all the time. Any thoughts?

photobydc,
Everyone understands your frustration, but we get frustrated when someone throws up their hands and blames the program for a problem that's unique to them.
When you had a problem in the darkroom, did you blame it on Omega or Bessler or Agfa or Kodak? That refrain just makes the contributors reluctant to spend time typing in an effort to help. If your problem were common, this board would be lit up with complaints about it.
BTW: have you even tried it as a PSD? Have you tried on another user? Have you repaired permissions? Have you rebuilt the Database? Have you done a consistency check? Have you removed the preferences? What possible causes did you eliminate before concluding that the problem was with the program?
It's just not realistic to think that the Software Engineers at Apple can address each individual problem that a unique user might have.

Saving Images to disk

I'm going to be making some graph Images, and I'm curious about saving them to disk. I've considered using Quicktime for Java, because quicktime supports so many image types and I need this versatility. The main problem is that, either way, I don't know how to save an Image to a file.
Any pointers would be much appreciated: websites, sample code using QTJava for saving images, etc.

Hi Xander
I think u want to convert the image ( which u draw as graph)into gif or jpge formate for this purpose u can use ACME
Gif/jpge encoder it is free ware (and it is writen in pure java)for converting image into gif/jpg formate and u can save it into ur hard disk
U can down the encode from www.acme.com
and use for encoding the image
just down lodad the packae and put that package in the current directory and import the package as
import Acme.JPM.Encoders.*;
in ur class where u encode the image
and for encoding the image here is the sample code
FileOutputStream out= null;
try{
File fc=new File("gif/" + "testgif"+".gif");
fc.createNewFile();
out = new FileOutputStream(fc);
}catch(IOException e){System.out.println("Gif Directory not Found");}
try{
GifEncoder encoder = new GifEncoder(image,out,true);
encoder.encode();
} catch(IOException e){System.out.println("File can't be created");}
I think this will help u

"Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture after editing in Photoshop?

I've had random intermittent problems with some files that I store in Aperture (I'm on 3.4.3) and then edit in Photoshop. I shoot only in RAW format on a Nikon D300 (.NEF files), and the images import fine. Some of the images I edit in Photoshop CS6. Upon saving the image in CS6 and returning to Aperture, I get a black preview image with a silver warning triangle, and it says "Unsupported Image Format". The info tab shows me that the image is a .tiff file as I expect - and what's odd is when I re-import these images from the folder they're stored in, they display fine as expected.
What gives?

All good questions, thank you for asking.
- Aperture is set up to export to 8-bit TIFF files.
- Photoshop is set as my external editor.
- To edit an image, when I'm in Aperture I right click on the image and select "Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS6"
- I don't use Layers in Photoshop, so when the image is returned to Aperture there's only the background layer.
- The images are saved in PS using "Save", not "Save As".
- I verified that the file names are .tiff rather than .tif
That is exactly what I am doing, when editing my Canon Raws in PS-CS6, and there is no problem with unsupported image formats. that should work!
and what's odd is when I re-import these images from the folder they're stored in, they display fine as expected.
Where is this folder? Are the images referenced? And if referenced, are they on an external drive? How is the drive connected and formatted?
